"Counting Mercies" lyrics

"Counting Mercies"

When we've been through all of it
It goes to prove, how much we fit
We've made mistakes, we failed a lot
But here we are, look what we've got

Count the mercy, count the pain
Summer's running from my shame
All the blessings, all the falls
Count the days when we almost had it all

Nobody said that life was fair
You do your best and hope like hell
You grit your teeth and bite your tongue
You hold your heart, out to the sun

And count your mercies, count your pain
Summer's running from my shame
All the blessings, all the falls
Count the days when we almost had it all

If this was it and now it's done
I'm more than glad for all I've won
To feel your love has been my life
I hope you know that I'll be fine

I'm counting mercies, counting pain
Summer's running from my shame
All the blessings, all the falls
Count the days when we almost had it all
